Description
9~3 A han Field of Inventlon The present invention relates to a holding arrangement for holders intended for holding sheet-like articles, such as drawings, charts, and the like, said holders comprising two parts which can be swung about an axis and which embrace - the upper edge of the respective suspended articles and are pressed towards one another by means of one or more spring means, and said hanging arrangement comprising a frame structure having horizontally extending inner and outer mutually parallel frame parts and transversely extending wires or rods mounted therein.
Background Art In certain types of known hanging arrangements, the holders are provided at one end thereof with a sleeve-like element arranged to co-act with a post of a hanging frame.
The holders, suspended at one end, have therewith been pivotable in the horizontal plane.
In many cases, however, difficulties are experienced in lifting a sheet-like article provided with a holder into position and simultaneously fitting the sleeve-like element onto the post. This difficulty becomes particularly acute when the holder carries a large number of sheet-like articles of large sur~ace area, therewith exhibiting considerable weight.
Object of the Invention One object of the present invention is to provide a hanging arrangement of the aforesaid kind which will enable sheet-like articles held by the holders to be located in a storage position adjacent one another in a safe and reliable fashion, and which greatly facilitates handling of the articles, both when placing the articles in their storage position and when withdrawing the articles therefrom.
Another object of the invention is to provide a hanging arrangement of the aforesaid kind which can be readily ~ 2~7~
manufactured and readily placed in a desired position.
Summary of the Invention In one ~road aspect, the present in~Tention relates to a hanging arrangement for holders intended for holding sheet-like articles, such as drawings, charts and the like, said holder comprising two parts which can be swung around a pivot axis and which are intended to embrace the upper edge of a respective suspended article and are pressed towards one another by means of one or more spring means, said hanging arrangement comprising a frame structure having horizontally extending inner and outer mutually parallel frame parts and rods or wires extending transversely therebetween, wherein the holder presents at one end thereof a hook member intended to be hung upon and moved along a transverse wire or rod, and at the other end thereof a further hook member intended to be attached to the outer frame part.
When the first hook member is hung on the wire or rod, a large part of the weight of the sheet-like object is relieved. It is then a simple matter to push the holder, together with the article held thereby, inwardly on the wire or rod, with the holder sloping downwardly, i.e. at an angle to the horizontal plane, and then to attach the outer, second hook member onto a corresponding frame part when said holder reaches its terminal position, therewith to complete the hanging operation.

The holders together with the sheet-like articles held thereby can also be readily removed from the hanging arrangement in an equally simple manner, since the major part of the weight of the sheet-like articles is, in this case, taken up by the rod or the wire.
In practice the hook members preferably move along planes which extend at right angles to one another. The inner hook member thus suitably extends in a plane which is parallel with the longitudinal axis of the frame elements, while the outer hook member moves in a plane at right angles thereto.
In addition hereto, the uppermost point of the outer hook member in the hanging position is located at a higher level than the uppermost point on the inner hooX member.
An important feature of the preferred embodiment of the invention is thus that the two hook members have mutually different shape and direction, which imparts an asy~metric design to the holder as a whole.
- 2a -B
3 ~ 74~
The manufacture and attachment o the hook members is grea~ly facilitated when, in accordance with one preferred embodiment, said members comprise bent end parts of the pi~ot shaft of the pivotal holder parts.
The frame structuxe preferably cornprises U-shaped sections, preferably having upper mutually parallel and oppositely directed section parts.
An embodiment of the invention wi:L1 now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
o Brief Description of the Drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view ofa hanging arrangement according to the invention, and shows hung sheet-like articles being moved to a storage position.
Figure 2 is a front view of the hanging arrangement illustrated in Figure 2, and shows the holder in the storage position.
_escription of a Preferred EmbodiMent A holder 1 intended for holding sheet-like articles 6, such as drawings or charts, comprises two parts 2,3 which can be pivoted about a shaft 4, and which are adapted to embrace the upper edge of the suspended articles 6. The two parts 2,3 are pressed towards one another by means of a number of spring clips 5.
The pivot shaft 4 is extended at both ends thereof, these extensions being bent into the shape of hook members, namely an inner hook member 4a, which is arranged to move or run in a plane extending at right angles to the longitu-dinal axis of the holder, and an outer hook member 4bwhich is intended to move or run in the plane of the holder.
The hanging arrangement also comprises a frame struc-ture 10 having inner and outer parallel frame parts in the form of U-shaped sections 11,12 with upper, counter-direc-tional horizontal profiled sections. Extending between theaforesaid frame parts are horizontal rods or wires 13, which pass through the one leg of the U-shaped sections and --- 4 ~2~Æ~
are attached to said sections by means of weld joints 15.
The rods or wires 13 may be proYided with an outer slip or slide coating, for example a coating of plastics material.
The frame structure further comprises a forwardly located cross member 14 and supporting struts 16, which are suitabl~ vertical and which are shown in chain lines in Fig. 1. In the illustration of Fig. 2 two further up-standing support struts 16 are shown, also in chain lines.
The intention herewit,h is to indicate that the frame structure can be extended vertically with an additional, corresponding hanging arrangement.
With the holders in their hanging position, the upper-most point of the outer hook member 4b of the holder 1 is located on a higher level than the uppermost point of the inner hook member 4a. As will be seen from Fig. 2, the - intention herewith is to enable the outer hook member 4b to co-act with the outer frame section 12 while the inner hook ~ember ~a rests upon and is displaceable along the rod or wire 13.
When a holder 1 to which a sheet-like article 6 has been attached shall be hung on the frame structure, the inner hook member 4a is first attached to a rod or wire 13, , which will therewith support most of the weight of the article 6. The holder is then pushed inwardly along the rod or wire 13 and the outer hook member 4b is hooked onto the outer U-shaped frame section 12, therewith to complete the operation.
The wire or rod 13 is also used to support the weight of the sheet-like article when removing a holder from the frame.
It is to be understood that the examples described above are not meant to limit the scope of the present invention.
It is expected that numerous variants w:ill be obvious to the person skilled in the storage equipment design field, without any departure from the spirit of the present invention. The appended claims, properly construed, form the only limitation upon the scope of the present invention.

An embodiment of the invention wi:L1 now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
o Brief Description of the Drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view ofa hanging arrangement according to the invention, and shows hung sheet-like articles being moved to a storage position.
Figure 2 is a front view of the hanging arrangement illustrated in Figure 2, and shows the holder in the storage position.
_escription of a Preferred EmbodiMent A holder 1 intended for holding sheet-like articles 6, such as drawings or charts, comprises two parts 2,3 which can be pivoted about a shaft 4, and which are adapted to embrace the upper edge of the suspended articles 6. The two parts 2,3 are pressed towards one another by means of a number of spring clips 5.
The pivot shaft 4 is extended at both ends thereof, these extensions being bent into the shape of hook members, namely an inner hook member 4a, which is arranged to move or run in a plane extending at right angles to the longitu-dinal axis of the holder, and an outer hook member 4bwhich is intended to move or run in the plane of the holder.
The hanging arrangement also comprises a frame struc-ture 10 having inner and outer parallel frame parts in the form of U-shaped sections 11,12 with upper, counter-direc-tional horizontal profiled sections. Extending between theaforesaid frame parts are horizontal rods or wires 13, which pass through the one leg of the U-shaped sections and --- 4 ~2~Æ~
are attached to said sections by means of weld joints 15.
The rods or wires 13 may be proYided with an outer slip or slide coating, for example a coating of plastics material.
The frame structure further comprises a forwardly located cross member 14 and supporting struts 16, which are suitabl~ vertical and which are shown in chain lines in Fig. 1. In the illustration of Fig. 2 two further up-standing support struts 16 are shown, also in chain lines.
The intention herewit,h is to indicate that the frame structure can be extended vertically with an additional, corresponding hanging arrangement.
With the holders in their hanging position, the upper-most point of the outer hook member 4b of the holder 1 is located on a higher level than the uppermost point of the inner hook member 4a. As will be seen from Fig. 2, the - intention herewith is to enable the outer hook member 4b to co-act with the outer frame section 12 while the inner hook ~ember ~a rests upon and is displaceable along the rod or wire 13.
When a holder 1 to which a sheet-like article 6 has been attached shall be hung on the frame structure, the inner hook member 4a is first attached to a rod or wire 13, , which will therewith support most of the weight of the article 6. The holder is then pushed inwardly along the rod or wire 13 and the outer hook member 4b is hooked onto the outer U-shaped frame section 12, therewith to complete the operation.
The wire or rod 13 is also used to support the weight of the sheet-like article when removing a holder from the frame.
It is to be understood that the examples described above are not meant to limit the scope of the present invention.
It is expected that numerous variants w:ill be obvious to the person skilled in the storage equipment design field, without any departure from the spirit of the present invention. The appended claims, properly construed, form the only limitation upon the scope of the present invention.
